Agreement here is that none of us want to see horses die due to injury.


I'm all for exploration and research of anything that would assure fewer track breakdowns, and am totally willing to asterisk any lines of demarcation on track records to account for changes in practices, with any and all associated with breeding, training and racing.

We're not speed freak fans.

We're sports fans, horse fans and gamblers. And I've been with hardened gamblers when a horse went down, causing them to deal with at least a brief moment of personal pain and sorrow.

I know little if anything about breeding, training or anything that might increase the fragility of a race horse.

But I want the message to ring loud and clear that I support anything that will lessen my worry about going to a live race track out of concern I might see a horse die that day.
